    Hello yousafali, and welcome to Seven Forums.

    You might see if you may be able to use step 2 in the tutorial below with your BitLocker password to recover your BitLocker drive.

    Hope this helps, :)

    H is my Flash Drive and G is system reserved Disk, below is the result of the Command.
    -------------------------------------------------------
    >repair-bde H: G: -pw -H
    Bitlocker Drive Encryption: Repair Tool version 6.1.7600
    Copy Right<C> Microsoft Corporation.

    Invalid Syntax Error. Use "repair-bde -?" for correct usage.
    -------------------------------------------------------

    yousafali,

    You just made a small mistake in the command. For your drive letters, you should use this command below instead. The F at the end of the command needs to remain an F. Only the red letters in the tutorial are to be substituted with the drive letters. :)

    repair-bde H: G: -pw -F

    The same result with

    >repair-bde H: G: -pw -F

    Bitlocker Drive Encryption: Repair Tool version 6.1.7600

    In that case, post a screenshot showing the full layout of your G: drive to see if it is able to be used to save the contents of the H: drive locked by BitLocker to.

    G: is system drive, and you will not be able to use G to copy the decrypted contents of H to. Plus, I doubt that G: would be large enough to hold H: even if you were able to.

    You'll need to use another drive like E: or another external hard drive instead. Be warned that whatever you use will be wiped out in the process when saving the decrypted files from H: to it.

    Here "I" is is my encrypted disk and "H" is the disk to copy decrypted data.

    The problem is that the -pw switch for the repair-bde command is only available in Windows 8.

    You might see if you may be able to use step 2 in OPTION TWO of the tutorial below instead.
